The most pitiful fact about the visit to Bangalore is the utmost terrible and outrageous behaviour of the traffic police. They are just plundering the tourist. Blocking them, especially the vehicle w (Read More)ith TN or AP or KL board. They look for the board only. After stopping, pointing outside silly remarks and declaring fines. Surprisingly, the fine need not be with proper receipt. They demand money. With reduction!!!! If we give some 500s they pleasantly allow us to go. Or else pointing out some other remark which we can't find out in our vehicle. Atrocious attitude. Felt like we are in a world of plunderers. They are doing it as a business, and I felt so. Frankly, we are forced to give the traffic police the bribe that they demand. However, while returning, we hesitated to pay any fine. Even made a complaint to the local police. Tourists with another state board, be cautious. Don't pay the fine. Ask them boldly. Ask for clarification on their remarks. Don't bribe them please.

You can walk all around in the park for hours at end, enjoying the greenery in the typical nice Bangalore weather. The lake inside Lalbagh is quite nice itself, unfortunately rare for Bangalore lakes. It's also a great picnic spot for city residents - you can lie down on the grass practically anywhere in the entire park, and enjoy a few hours in the middle of lush greenery. The different sections within the park are all slightly different, and I recommend you walk around all of them to experience it completely.

We had gone on a weekday, but despite that the park was very crowded - and having the Fastrack ticket was a real delight. We realized we might have 2x the rides we could have done on a regular ticket - and this was on a weekday! I can only imagine what it must be like on weekends!

Bangalore is a city that blends the old and the new. The new is, of course, the malls and the IT sector and the clubs, etc. and the old consists the monuments that still hold the colonial charm. Bang (Read More)alore is the party hub of the country, especially Koramangala, MG Road, Brigade Road and Church Street. There are rows and rows of bars and clubs and if you are one for club-hopping, this is the place for you. Bangalore also has endless restaurants. What's interesting in the restaurant department is that there are hundreds of themed restaurants, which makes for amazing instagram-friendly interiors. Bangalore being a place where almost all start-ups are born, it is a place full of youth and vigour. But that's not it. Markets like KR market make perfect spots for early morning photography as they are full of florists just starting their day. Cubbon Park, again, is lined with trees and makes amazing spot to just chill throughout the day. Cubbon Park also has these special Sunday mornings, where dog owners come with their dogs so that they can socialise. You can go there, even if you don't have a dog and just play with them. There are endless book cafes and other cultural spots. You might find poetry slam events happening near the MG road metro station. There is always something happening in this city.
